Holiday gifts for a Hollywood executive: Part 1

OK, my buddy Colin has listed the best holiday gifts for gearheads, and it’s really a great selection. But what do you get that studio executive, power agent or manager that’s not only touching but also gives the recipient a competitive edge in Hollywood?
Why not Kaneko Sangyo’s portable toilet for use inside the car? (Really!) I’ll bet Ari Emanuel already has at least one. The man seems to be on top of every major deal in Hollywood, so who knows? Maybe this thing is his secret time saver.
Kaneko Sangyo states, “The commode will come in handy during major disasters such as earthquakes, or when you are caught in a traffic jam.’ Seriously -- and we definitely have both here in Los Angeles, so: Bingo!
It’s a cardboard toilet bowl (I am not making this up) with a water-absorbent sheet inside. There’s even a privacy curtain (you do the visualization). The company says it’s small enough to fit inside a suitcase and costs the equivalent of about $42. How handy. Why not tote it around in a sharp, stylish Louis Vuitton Pegase 70 bag (only $2,740). By all means, have it messengered right over!
Honestly -- though this might be a rather practical idea (the john, not the luggage) in this earthquake-prone, traffic-laden landscape we live in, especially thinking of kids and those not taking their bladder-control meds.... Gotta go, gotta go....
